Uninformative error message - Issue with Windows Build

[adam2392]

Description

Hi,

Thank you for this great package. I'm having a bit of trouble building wheels all of a sudden (neurodata/scikit-tree#207), but it previously works: https://github.com/neurodata/scikit-tree/actions/runs/7721644419/job/21048502802.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to debug this even, or if there was a recent bug introduced?

I believe this was fixed in v2.16.5. I'm still having some new build issues in Windows on that version, but it's a different failure mode so may not affect you.

Yes, that was due to a GitHub rollout of new builder images that contained Powershell 7.3+, which changed the way quoting works. It's way better, but the weird quoting required for 7.2 and earlier causes quotes to be injected to both --only as well as the paths. We've fixed it in 2.16.5.

I've updated the title of #1740 and pinned it, maybe that will help.
